Question 6504

As an exception, when is it permitted to use audible signals to warn the vehicle traveling ahead of the intention to pass it?

  1. In a built-up area.
  2. Both in and outside a built-up area.
  3. Outside a built-up area.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Outside a built-up area.

Outside a built-up area. Only there may you honk, using a sound that is not shrill, to warn the driver ahead that you are going to pass. In a built-up area, the horn is reserved for avoiding a possible accident or signaling an emergency trip.
